B-Ionic Calcium Buffer is the original, unique, easy to use, two-component liquid supplement system. When using equal volumes of each component, the aquarist can easily maintain calcium and alkalinity levels with no mixing powders, disruption of ionic balance, or addition of organic chemicals. B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System does not contain phosphates or nitrates. In addition to supplying highly concentrated calcium and carbonate alkalinity required for calcification, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System also provides all other important major, minor, and trace elements in the proper ratios to duplicate the composition of natural seawater. As a result, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System will help restore inorganic ions lost from protein skimming and help maintain the ionic balance of the aquarium water. Starting daily dosage is 1 ml per 4 gallons of aquarium capacity.

Our recommended starting dose is 1 ml. of each component per 4 gallons of aquarium capacity per day. Maintain alkalinity between 3.0 and 3.75 meq/liter (8.4 and 10.5 dKH) by testing daily and adjusting dose accordingly. Depending on the degree of calcification occurring in the aquarium, dose may have to be significantly increased over our recommended starting dose. Never add more than 1 ml. per gallon of each component in a 24 hour period, and never allow pH to rise above 8.45. Once the proper dose has been determined for your aquarium, testing can be performed less frequently. If your aquarium tends to run at a higher pH (over 8.45) we suggest you try our B-Ionic Calcium Bicarbonate System. When using kalkwasser in addition to B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System, follow the above procedure but start with 1 ml of each component per 8 gallons of aquarium capacity per day. For more detailed directions please refer to our product label.

Comments:We all have our preference when it comes to which 2 part we use. This review is more for the packaging that Marine Depot performs. They do an excellent job putting the containers into bags, and it arrived perfect without any leaks.

Comments:I always had good color and extension on all my sps, and the rest of my corals we always looking good and colorful. Since I started using bionic I have noticed deeper and also brighter colors on my sps, and increased growth and great polyp extension. All of my Lps have been much fuller as well. All in all I few you will notice an immediate difference from any other product your using. I will be sticking with bionic forever.

Comments:This is a great product at a great price. I've been using it for nearly a year, and my monti and pink birds nest have consistently showed good growth. The products are easy to use, but plan ahead by at least a couple of days, as they do need agitation and time to dissolve when tired up to volume with RO/DI water. I have a heated floor in a bathroom that I let them sit on over night after filling (especially after sub-freezing weather), and they are ready to use the next day.
Marine Depot has great price and service - I save money over the LFS, even when it's the only item I need.
